T20 World Cup 2021: Flop XI from second week of the tournament
The third week brings more excitement. But, who failed during the second week?
9. Maheesh Theekshana
Sri Lanka as a team performed much better than everyone had expected. Just a few months ago, they were down and out. But, the series victory over India has boosted their confidence.
Even though they are out of the tournament, they can be proud of themselves as they were able to defeat the West Indies. Apart from a few players, they were effective on the field. And one of the players who need to step up in the future is Maheesh Theekshana. The youngster has been decent with the ball but has been unable to pick wickets.
Against South Africa, he conceded 31 runs from 4 overs. Even though the economy rate is decent, everyone expects a spinner to pick wickets. Against West Indies too, he was economical, but he failed to provide a breakthrough. He has been on the safe side because of Hasaranga’s success. The day Hasaranga fails, all eyes will be on Theekshana.
